What point on the line y=9x+8 is closest to the origin

Mathematics

Marat540 [252]3 years ago
3 0

to find the point, find the location

realize that the shortest line that crosses through the origin and y=9x+8 is perpendicular to y=9x+8

perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to get -1

y=9x+8 has a slope of 9

9*m=-1, m=-1/9

the slope of the mystery line is -1/9

since it passes through the origin, the y intercept is 0

y=(-1/9)x is the equation of the line from the point to the origin

find the intersection of this line and the original line

set them equal to each other

(-1/9)x=9x+8

multily both sides by 9

-x=81x+72

minus 81 both sides

-82x=72

divide both sides by -82

x=-36/41

find y

y=(-1/9)x

y=(-1/9)(-36/41)

y=4/41

the point is (\frac{-36}{41},\frac{4}{41})

If a*b means 2a + b , then what is 2*5 ?
rewona [7]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown  below:

If (a)(b)=2a+b, you have that:

(2)(5)=(2)(2)+5=9

Because a=2 and b=5

Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: 9

HELLLLLLLP 5 STAR + THANKS PLEASE HELPPPP
Vanyuwa [196]
I believe the answer would actually be A) 0.239 because you would add up all the data from each section (So 32+20+25+30+18+15+58+45) and you get 243. Then you can set up the proportion 58/243 (since there are 58 juniors taking Spanish) and when you divide 58 by 243. you get the decimal 0.23868.... which rounds up to 0.239. Hope this helps!
